Juergen, I was able to take some time today to view the Offenburg film, and I believe I may have found your Agatha's death record. I regret I was not able to save the record for emailing at this time. The reader/printer/scanner is out of order and won't be fixed until a couple weeks from now; the computer person is on vacation. There is also a Johann George Rapp who died in 1889 and an Emil Rapp who died in 1895. The particulars for the Agatha Rapp that I found does fit your Agatha's data. The record states that Agatha died October 7, 1893. The record #97 is on page 530. She was 65 years old when she died. I managed to make a copy but I must tell you the film was filmed in the "negative" mode. This makes for poor copy and very hard to read. The background is dark and the writing is white. If you want, I can scan it at home and email it to you, but I can not guarantee the quality of the image. Let me know your thoughts. Beverly In a message dated 2/13/2008 2:05:08 A.M.
